Kate Moss will star in a special episode of '
Ab Fab
' for Sport Relief on March 23. It's perfect, since the woman is probably a walkin' talkin' goldmine of gags for writers Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders (aka
AF
's psychotic fashion PR Eddie) anyway - remember Moss's walk-on part in Dizzee Rascal's interview at the
GQ
Awards looking for her missing lipstick?

The model will join Stella McCartney and athletes Linford Christie and Colin Jackson in the one-off. "Kate was really excited to get involved with the show," a snitch told
The Mirror
. "She's a real fan and always quotes it with her mates."

Moss, 38, turned up to McCartney's Christmas lights opening at her store last year, where Eddy, who was guest of honour, called her an "older model" and told her to "cut [her] t--- off and stick [her] head down the loo"; how about that for a quote?

"She sees the parallels between her life and Patsy [played by Joanna Lumley] and Eddie's, and she finds it really funny," continues the whistleblower.

"When she got the script, she squealed with delight. She thinks it's brilliant, and she likes having a giggle at her own expense." Funny, because we recall her storming out of the same
GQ
Awards after host James Nesbitt jokily made a risqué innuendo about bedding her.

Rather than always inadvertently being the butt of jokes, Moss has turned her hand to comedy before, as Vicky Pollard's sister (liking the mickey-taking of her Croydon roots) in
Little Britain
, and in a sketch with Sadie Frost and Katy Brand for Comic Relief in 2009.
